Parc-nature de la Pointe-aux-Prairies

DISCOVER THE EAST SIDE OF MONTREAL

More fauna than anyone would think

Parc-nature de la Pointe-aux-Prairies is divided into three sectors: the Marais and Rivière-des-Prairies sector, the Bois-de-l’Héritage sector, and the Fleuve sector.

Parc-nature de la Pointe-aux-Prairies is a vast, 261-hectare urban green space located at the eastern end of the island.

Head there in summer for hiking (8.4km) or cycling and check out the great diversity of rare birds and mammals, including white-tailed deer. In winter, you can go sledding on the hill or snowshoeing (6.7km) and cross country skiing (12.4km). There is also a special trail for fatbike fans (4.2km). Two chalets provide places to visitors.
